Brazil 1-0 Switzerland: Casemiro winner secures entry into round of 16

Defensive midfielder Casemiro has scored six goals for Brazil

Casemiro scored an impressive winner as five-time world champions Brazil swept past Switzerland and advanced to the World Cup knockout stages.

An otherwise dreary encounter was brought to life with seven minutes remaining when Manchester United midfielder Casemiro fired his first attempt into the far corner, beating goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

Brazil reinforced their opening win over Serbia as group winners with maximum points and secured top spot with a point against Cameroon in the final game.

Tite’s men thought they broke the block after the hour mark when Vinicius Jr kept his composure to swing in coolly, but the goal was ruled out by VAR for offside.

Switzerland remained solid for much of the game and offered no attacking threat as they failed to score in the competition.

Murat Yakin thought they would walk away with a point, but Casemiro’s moment of inspiration had the Brazilian fans jumping at Stadion 974.
